The Ballad of Hastur and Cassilda (Darkover) [Kindle Edition]

Marion Zimmer Bradley (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Before Darkover was Darkover, I wrote this to explain some of the Gods and heroes. I have referred in the novels to 'singing' the Ballad, but I think of it as declaimed rhythmically, to a background of minor arpeggios on a harp. -- Marion Zimmer Bradley

Why don't you read it? It's cheap. It's short. And it will answer forever all your questions about Hastur, Cassilda, and Camilla.

As MZB is careful to explain, that doesn't mean that this or any other version is the exact truth. But why go on wondering. . . except. . . why didn't Camilla think to give Hastur a starflower? You know what a starflower is. At least, if you read MZB you do.

But . . . uh . . . the name Hastur first turns up in Scotland, thousands of years before and billions of light years away from Darkover. If you read Darkover Landfall, and if you didn't why not?, you know where a lot of the colonists came from.

Go on, push the little button and buy it.
